what is the position of food security in india
Answers
Regions of food insecurity
Some Indian states such as Odisha, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra have extreme levels of food insecurity.
There are still many districts (of a few states), which have permanent food insecurity and famine-like conditions. The districts are −
Kalahandi and Kashipur districts of Odisha.
Palamau district of Jharkhand.
Baran district of Rajasthan, etc.
Availability of food grains
During 1950-51 annual net imports of cereals amounted to 4.1 million tonnes. This figure was 10.3 million tons during 1965-66. Since then there was a decline and after 1995-96 India became an exporter of cereals. During the last 50 years, there has been an increase in the per capita availability of cereals to the extent of 9%.
However, the country has failed to increase the production of pulses consistent with the needs of the growing population. This is significant since a large number of vegetarians in the country depend on pulses for their protein requirements. Tenth Plan data indicate that consumption of milk and meat products, as well as vegetables and fruits, has increased as a natural outcome of economic development.
